Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Naturbetesmarker är en av de miljöer som håller den hösta biologiska mångfalden i Sverige (Ingelög et al., 1993). Idag finns endast 10-12 % naturbetesmarker kvar (Jordbruksverket 2005a) av de 2 miljoner hektar som fanns i Sverige på mitten av 1800-talet (WWF, 2006). Naturbetesmarkerna innehar en speciell flora som är anpassad för kontinuerlig störning och näringSemi-natural grasslands are one of the habitats with the highest biodiversity in northern Europe. The high biodiversity is a result of the land being short in nutrient and being continuously disturbed, an effect of mowing and clearing of bushes and trees. Because the development of agriculture into more effective land use, many of these sites and their associated species are endangered. Besides de
Many of the water bodies in Europe are in bad ecological condition due to anthropologic impacts. Pollution and morphological changes have had a severe impact of the water environment and flora and fauna associated with such environments. The fact that water courses often cross administrative borders within countries as well as internationally makes the water management that much more difficult. Th

I detta examensarbete har en sådan applikation utvecklas. Applikationen har utvecklats för Örebro kommun och kallas iSurvey.
